New relase with Plymouth GUI (if "splash" or "rhgb" keyword is present in PXE cmdline).
What's new in this release: - New GUI dialogbox to display important or static messages like asking for si_pushinstall command. - enhanced /lib/systemimager-lib.sh (new functions to enable system messages, debug messages, use the gui dialog box) - new cmdline parameters (enable debugging, fix the post imaging action - many glitches and mug fixes. - new screenshots Screenshots: - http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/sis_plymouth.png - http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/SIS_CO6.png - http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/sis_success_text.png - http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/sis_failure_text.png - http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/sis_SSH_text.png - http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/sis_SSH_plymouth.png Text mode is still the default. What works aside cool interface (text or GUI) - bootpackage creation works (si_mkbootpackage) - rsync deployment method works - SSH deployment method works (tested si_pushinstall) (both text anf GUI modes will display a banner asking for si_pushinstall if no ssh keys is available) - grub2 bootloader install works - si_monitortk works fine Not tested but should work: - grub1 bootloader install (CentOS-6) TODO: - stop cleanly rsync and unmount disks if CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed during imaging. - fix colormap bug on CENTOS-7 (drm driver bug) - test and eventually fix flamethrower deployment - test and eventually fix bittorrent deployment - update doc with all cmdline new parameters IMHO, this release is as stable as last stable release, though it is less tested so be careful. Source: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/systemimager-4.5.0.tar.bz2 Repos for RHEL6, RHEL7 and FC25: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/ Release number: v4.5.0-20170613git Usual notes: 1/ You must regenerate your install scripts E.g.: /usr/sbin/si_mkautoinstallscript -quiet --autodetect-disks -image oscarimage_sda -force -ip-assignment static -post-install cmdline (post install can be shell, reboot, poweroff, cmdline, kexec...) (shell drops a debug shell at the end so you can check what was done) cmdline parameter rd.sis.post-action=shell will drop a shell at the end of imaging. 2/ Easy install using OSCAR repositories - For easy install on CentOS-7: rpm -ivh http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/rhel-7-x86_64/oscar-release-6.1.2r11110-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm - For easy install on CentOS-6: rpm -ivh http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/rhel-6-x86_64/oscar-release-6.1.2r11073-1.el6.noarch.rpm - (Not yeat available for FC-25, you must create your repofile by hand or install CentOS-7 package and update /etc/yum.repos.d/oscar.repo) 3/ Note: to setup your PXE, most of relevant cmdline parameters can be found here: (/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/39systemimager/module-install.sh or install on old distros) 4/ Needs a postinstall script to setup network. One that can be used is the following one: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/sis_postinstall/16all.network_config Happy deployment.
